Why gcp_secrets_disable_version is rated Medium
Disabling a secret version modifies access control and secret availability but does not permanently delete the version or data—it can be re-enabled. This is a Write operation rather than Destructive. However, disabling a secret version could impact dependent services if an AI agent disables the wrong version, causing authentication or data access failures.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gcp_secrets_disable_version' and description 'Disable a secret version' indicate the tool modifies the state of a secret version by disabling it, which is a reversible operation.
